installing miscellaneous package

[Farhad]

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to things so please be patient with me.

I just downloaded the source code for octave 3.6.1 and built it (ubuntu
11.10 32-bit). all went smooth. but now when I try to install the package
miscellaneous 1.0.11, it complains about octave/config.h . and I couldn't
locate that octave/config.h on my machine either! has it been dropped in
newer release of octave?

this is the error:

++++++++++++++++++++++
warning: creating installation directory /usr/local/share/octave/packages

compilation terminated.
